Location of Reichenbachsteegen in Rhineland-Palatinate |
||
Reichenbachsteegen is a district of Reichenbach-Steegen in the Kaiserslautern district in Rhineland-Palatinate . Until 1969 it was an independent community.
location
Reichenbachsteegen is located in the North Palatinate Bergland in the south-eastern municipality. Structurally, the place has now grown together with the neighboring Reichenbach, so that a spatial separation is no longer possible. By Reichenbach-Steegen flows in an east-west direction of Reichenbach . The Rackenbach flows into this on site.
history
The former place name Steegen is mentioned for the first time in a document from 1269 in which a certain Lozo von Stegen is described as a righteous citizen. The name of the place probably comes from a crossing, a footbridge over a body of water. A document from 1717 lists fourteen families living in Stegen. Until the end of the 18th century the place belonged to the Electoral Palatinate .
From 1798 to 1814, when the Palatinate was part of the French Republic (until 1804) and then part of the Napoleonic Empire , Steegen was incorporated into the canton of Landstuhl and was subordinate to the Mairie Reichenbach . In 1815 the place had 450 inhabitants. In the same year it was added to Austria . Just one year later, the place, like the entire Palatinate, changed to the Kingdom of Bavaria . Then Steegen moved to the Kingdom of Bavaria. From 1818 to 1862 he was a member of the Homburg Land Commissioner ; from this the district office of Homburg emerged.
In 1911 Steegen was renamed Reichenbachsteegen . Since part of the district office - including Homburg itself - was added to the newly created Saar area in 1920 , the place moved to the newly created district office of Kaiserslautern and was administered by a district office branch located in Landstuhl until 1938 . From 1939 he was part of the Kaiserslautern district .
After the Second World War , Fockenberg-Limbach became part of the then newly formed state of Rhineland-Palatinate within the French occupation zone . In the course of the first administrative reform in Rhineland-Palatinate , the municipality Reichenbach-Steegen was newly formed on June 7, 1969 from the previously independent municipalities Reichenbachsteegen and Reichenbach.

traffic
From 1920 to 1972 the place was the end point of the Bachbahn , which branched off from the station Lampertsmühle-Otterbach of the Lautertalbahn ; the local train station was called Reichenbach (Pfalz) . In 1995 freight traffic on the route was also stopped; the Weilerbach- Reichenbach section has now been dismantled. Freight traffic always played a major role on site; There was a large Raiffeisen silo in the catchment area of the station, which shaped the entire townscape.
